1 Samoela 22
1 Aa le nienga t’i Davide, niherereake mb’an-dakato’ i Adolame ao, le ie jinanji’ o longo’eo naho i anjomban-drae’e iabiy le nizotso mb’ama’e mb’eo.
So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.
2 Ze hene niampoheke, naho o mpisongoo, naho o nafaitse an-trokeo ro nifanontoñe ama’e ao, le nifehè’e; va’e efajato o nirekets’ ama’eo.
And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
3 Niakatse boak’ao t’i Davide nimb’e Mitspè e Moabe mb’eo, le nanao ty hoe amy mpanjaka’ i Moabey. Ehe apoho holy mb’ etoa hey ty raeko naho i reneko ho ama’o ampara’ te fantako ty hanoen’ Añahare amako.
From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”
4 Aa le nasese’e añatrefa’ i mpanjaka’ i Moabey iereo vaho nimoneñe ama’e ao amy ze andro iaby naha am-pipalirañ’ ao t’i Davide.
So he left them in the care of the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.
5 Le hoe ty Gade, mpitoky, amy Davide, ko mipalitse an-kijoly ao; iengao le akia mb’an-tane’ Iehodà añe. Aa le nienga t’i Davide naho nimoak’ amy ala’ i Keretey ao.
Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
6 Jinanji’ i Saole te nioniñe t’i Davide rekets’ o mpiama’eo; niambesatse e Gibà t’i Saole ambane’ ty hatae e Ramà ao, am-pità’e ty lefo’e, vaho nijohanjohañe añariseho aze iaby o mpitoro’eo;
Soon Saul learned that David and his men had been discovered. At that time Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with his spear in hand and all his servants standing around him.
7 le hoe t’i Saole amo mpitoro’e mijohañe ama’eo, Mijanjiña ry nte-Beniamineo, Tinolo’ i ana’ Iisaiiy teteke naho tanem-bahe iaby hao nahareo; songa hanoe’e mpifelek’ arivo naho mpifehe-zato hao?
Then Saul said to his servants, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse giving all of you fields and vineyards and making you commanders of thousands or hundreds?
8 kanao sindre mikilily ahy, leo raike tsy nampiboak’ amako te nifañina amy ana’ Iisaiy i anakoy, le tsy eo ty manahelo ahy hitalilia’e te nitroboe’ i anakoy i mpitorokoy, hamandroña’e ahiko, manahake androany?
Is that why all of you have conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of Jesse. Not one of you has shown concern for me or revealed to me that my son has stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case today.”
9 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Doege nte Edome, i natao ambone’ o mpitoro’ i Saoleoy: Nitreako te nimb’e Nobe mb’e Akimelek’ ana’ i Ahitobe mb’eo ty ana’ Iisay.
But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.
10 Ie nañontane am’ Iehovà ho aze naho nivatie’e vaho natolo’e aze ty fibara’ i Goliate nte-Pilistiy.
Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 Aa le nampañitrife’ i mpanjakay t’i Akimeleke mpisoroñe ana’ i Ahitobe naho i anjomban-drae’e iabiy, o mpisoroñe e Nobeo; le fonga niheo mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo.
Then the king sent messengers to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests at Nob. And all of them came to the king.
12 Le hoe t’i Saole: Mijanjiña henaneo ry ana’ i Ahitobe; le hoe ty natoi’e, Intoy iraho talèko.
“Listen now, son of Ahitub,” said Saul. “Here I am, my lord,” he replied.
13 Le hoe t’i Saole ama’e: Akore ty nikinià’ areo ahiko, ihe naho i ana’ Isaìy, kanao tinolo’o mofo naho fibara vaho nañontane aman’ Añahare ho aze, soa t’ie hitroatse amako, hiampira’e, manahake androany.
And Saul asked him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him so that he could rise up against me to lie in wait, as he is doing today.”
14 Tinoi’ i Akimeleke i mpanjakay ami’ty hoe: Aa vaho ia amo mpitoro’oo ty atokisañe mandikoatse i Davide, vinanto’ i mpanjakay, i mañaoñe o fandilia’o iabio naho iasiañe añ’anjomba’o ao?
Ahimelech answered the king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard who is honored in your house?
15 Androany hao ty nañontaneako aman’Añahare ho aze? mitotse ahy izay; ehe te tsy asarà’ i mpanjakay ndra inoñ’ inoñe amy mpitoro’ey naho aman’ anjomban-droaeko; fa ke maro he tsy ampe tsy apota’ o mpitoro’oo o raha zao.
Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of this whole affair—not in part or in whole.”
16 Le hoe i mpanjakay: Tsy mete tsy havetrake irehe Akimeleke rekets’ o anjomban-drae’o iabio.
But the king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
17 Le hoe i mpanjakay amo mpigaritse nijohanjohañe ama’e eo iabio; Mitoliha, fonga zamano o mpisoro’ Iehovào; amy te mpiamy Davide ka ty fità’ iareo naho napota’ iareo t’ie nibioñe fa tsy naboa’ iareo amako. Fe tsy nimete nañity fitàñe hiambotrake amo mpisoro’ Iehovào o mpitoro’ i mpanjakaio.
Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
18 Le hoe i mpanjakay amy Doege: Mitoliha, ambotraho o mpisoroñeo. Aa le nitolike t’i Doege nte Edome, niambotrak’ amo mpisoroñeo vaho zinama’e amy àndroy t’indaty valompolo-lim’ amby mpisikiñe i kitambe lèniy.
So the king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
19 Le fonga binaibai’e an-dela-pibara ty Nobe, i rova’ i mpisoroñe reiy, lahilahy naho ampela, ajaja naho anak’ ajaja minono, añombe naho borìke vaho añondry an-dela-pibara.
He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.
20 Nipoliotse añe ty raik’ amo ana’ i Akimelek’ ana’ i Ahitobeo, Abiatare ty tahina’e, nitriban-day mb’amy Davide mb’eo.
But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
21 Natalili’ i Abiatare amy Davide te zinama’ i Saole o mpisoro’ Iehovào.
And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
22 Le hoe t’i Davide amy Abiatare, Napotako amy andro zay, kanao tao t’i Doege nte Edome le tsy mete tsy hitalily amy Saole; izaho ty nahavilasy o hene ondatin’ anjomban-drae’oo.
Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house.
23 Mimoneña amako, le ko hembañe fa i mipay ty fiaikoy ro mipay ty azo ka; le am-pitsolohan-drehe te amako.
Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is seeking mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
